Create a crash 'report'

[rodolforg]

As we all know, sadly Synfig Studio has some (random?) crashes around.
On Windows, specifically, we have more, maybe due to GTK port or version we embed. Some (a lot) errors that happen on Windows releases don't happen on Linux. So what about we do provide a way to Synfig user send us a crash report file?

I know @Keyikedalube was studying about it a while ago, but I couldn't find where he stated it :P
So here are some promising links I just found:
https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw -> we can embed it on our winmain... : https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw#exchndl
Here is an 'alternative way':

And here, if it works, it can be used to show a window with a "send report", maybe :P
https://crashrpt.sourceforge.net/

I know that, in all cases, we need to ship the debug symbols somehow. How much would it cost (performance and storage)?

Here it is #391

It's embarassing I lost track of time 😅

Ouch. So it was an issue indeed XD
Should I close this one and add my comments there?
@Keyikedalube do you intend to resume your work? :)

The first version could just work on a single system (Linux or Windows) and just write the crash report file in a known place.
A second version could report to user about the crash and point to the report file and ask him/her to send us or post on forums.
The final version should be able to send us automatically XD via HTTP or email, I don't know :P

@rodolforg Track this issue and close the older one. I can't resume currently with my priorities set on my ongoing studies.

Those are well established solid steps. One by one is much better than getting overwhelmed with tackling multiple objectives at once. I tried to do it that way in the old linked issue and see where I am now 😅 😭
